hplip-2.8.5.run error code 2

Asked by troypulk

I have Mandriva 2008.1

After I install hplip 2.8.5 it ends with this error right when it's starting "make"

"Running 'make'
Please wait, this may take several minutes...
error: 'make' command failed with status code 2"

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It might also be instructive to do this:

$ cd hplip-2.8.5
$ python ./check.py -tc

This was the only error:

"error: cups/cups.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [hplipjs.o] Error 1"

python ./check.py -tc

Said that cups and python were not installed, so I went to the install program and they were not available so I went and installed them myself

after this I ran hplip-2.8.5 make again and then make install and all is well, every thing installed just fine

Thanks again for your help

I have been loading modprobe parport_pc && modprobe ppdev to start the parallel port module after booting up

How do I get this to load at boot?

Well this depends on the distro, but usually you can add the modules to the /etc/modules file.

Thanks for your support of HPLIP!

Thanks for the suggestion to use "python ./check.py -tc". It appears that I was missing SIP (error: SIP not installed or version not found.). I installed python-dev and python-sip4-dev which did not fix the error, so I installed sip4, python2.5-dbg, python-dbg and python-sip4-dbg. I still receive the error that "Checking SIP version...
error: SIP not installed or version not found." I am running Ubuntu 8.04...

Thanks for any suggestions...

Hi Greg,

It might be better if you start a new Topic, I don't think they are watching this one any more
